Proposed Illinois House Bill 1116

[Karume]

---

Amends the Student-Athlete Endorsement Rights Act. Provides that if a student-athlete earns more than $250,000 from the use of the name, image, likeness, or voice of the student-athlete, then any academic scholarship granted to the student-athlete shall be reduced by $1 per dollar the student-athlete earns over $250,000.

 

[Professor K.]

So if you make over 250K, you have to pay your own tuition?

(Not there is now, but) There should be no discussion of grades/academic eligibility ever again

each dollar over 250k goes to tuition essentially

When was the last time it was

 

[mozichrome]

i guess this could be used as negative recruitment in battles for players by coaches
but honestly between football/basketball is Ill collective really paying that much out for individual players

 

[Karume]

for an athlete how is tuition billed in terms of in state vs out of state?

Nikkas that actually go to class have to

 

[Professor K.]

When was the last time it was

It's been a minute but there should be literally no requirement of anything school-related if they have to pay for it. They're straight up employees at that point.

 

[Professor K.]

Nikkas that actually go to class have to

Not if they got a full ride scholarship

 

[Trojan 24]

So Full Rides gonna be the new walk-on

Or more likely they'll pay them under the table like before

I believe that is where we will be within ten years.

 

[Harry B]

Could be reasonable in a world where people with rich parents paid their own tuition as well. But yes this is even more reasonable as the money is made directly as a consequence of you being a student there

 

[The_Sheff]

So you can pretty much guarantee Illinois will not have a star football athlete playing in that state from now on.

interesting thought but the NCAA could still have roster limits
